Ent Web UI

Last synchronized at 2026-01-12T22:47:32Z

Sidekiq Enterprise 1.5.0+ allows for user-defined authorization within the Web UI; you can define rules for whether a given request is allowed to proceed or not.

Authorization

You define custom authorization logic at the top of your config/routes.rb, like so:

require 'sidekiq-ent/web'

Sidekiq::Web.authorize do |env,method,path|
  # env == the Rack env for this request
  # method == 'GET', 'POST', 'DELETE', etc
  # path == env['PATH_INFO']
  
  user = nil # you'll need to define how you get access to the current user

  # non-admins only allowed read-only GET operations
  method == 'GET' || user.admin?
end
...

Your authentication library will determine how you get access to the current user. If you use a popular authentication library like Devise, Warden, Sorcery, etc, feel free to update this wiki page with how you access the current user.

Devise Example

require 'sidekiq-ent/web'

Sidekiq::Web.authorize do |env,method,path|
  session = env['rack.session']
  warden_key = session['warden.user.user.key']
  return false unless warden_key && warden_key[0] && warden_key[0][0]
  user = User.find warden_key[0][0]
  user && user.admin?
end
...

Clearance Example

require 'sidekiq-ent/web'

Sidekiq::Web.authorize do |env, method, path|
  user = env[:clearance].current_user
  user && user.admin?
end
